摘要
当代美国作家理查德·鲍尔斯的《回声制造者》真实记录了当代美国虚幻的社会现实,呈现出后现代人类与自身、自然以及地方的疏离。在这部后现代生态小说中,面临丧失家园危险的鸟类故事和围绕马克车祸展开的人类故事交替出现,展示出后现代社会中愈演愈烈的自然环境危机与人类生存焦虑。鲍尔斯笔下人物的命运逆转与身份重构表达出一种建设性的后现代生态观,即倡导人们重建自我、自然以及地方的"真实"。
Richard Powers＇s award-winning novel The Echo Maker faithfully records the illusory social reality in contemporary America and shows the alienation of human beings from their real self, nature and place. In this postmodern ecological novel, the story of birds facing the loss of their habitat alternates with the story of people centering on Mark＇s car accident. The bifurcated plotline thus reveals the worsening of environmental crises and the increasing anxiety of human existence. Through the reversal of fortune and reconstruction of self-identity of the three protagonists in the novel, Powers expresses his constructive postmoderu ecological vision of reconstructing the real self,nature and place.
